WIP Wishlist Round One

Tumblr says go back to sleep. Fuck you, Tumblr, would that I could. Instead, have some of the WIPs I’m subscribed to right now; I don’t normally read or recommend WIPs, but these are some where I’ve loved what I have read (though am behind on commenting) and eagerly await updates. All are GOT/ASOIAF Jaime/Brienne, though mostly more plot heavy than straight romances. (In putting together the list, I realised this fandom has broken me, because these 10 are but a drop in the bucket of the WIPs I follow now. Damn it, J/B writers, you are too good.)

A Man for All Seasons by dreadwulf: Jaime goes north after season 7, Brienne and Jaime fight a dragon, Bran does his wonderfully annoying vague prophesying, and I need this to be finished. Last updated June 2020.

A Wreath of Thorns by LadyNormaOfTheWesterlands: Post Season 6, Cersei takes out Tarth in the very first chapter, Brienne has found a good place in Winterfell with respect and friendship (Lyanna fucking Mormont is the best), Tormund is a fucking delight, and the plot kills me, it’s so good. Last updated February 2020.  

Beware your dreams by Zeta_Mei: This is a delicious fairytale with murder and something like curses and secret Targaryens (of my favourite sort), and Starks being strange and feral and sweet. Last updated October 2020, but it feels like it was last updated years ago, I’m that eager for more.

The Black Mummers by SimoneBlack: Brienne grew up in exile with Daenerys, Missandei, Grey Worm, and Viserys and is sent to kill Tywin while the others deal with more of the politics around trying to retake the throne. Dany is a dreamer, and I did not know how much I would love Dany, Brienne, and Missandei growing up like sisters. Last updated March 2021.

The price of being a wolf by tall_wolf_of_tarth: Modern Westeros where Brienne works in a library basement overseeing Jaime’s community service and is also a werewolf. Last updated March 2020, and I am dying for more.

Crowned With Flowers by BecauseBraime: Barristan the Bold defeats Prince Rhaeger at the Harrenhal tourney which leads to Selwyn Tarth taking the throne and a wealth of other adventures. The premise is intriguing as hell, and I’ve already been surprised more than once. Currently updating daily.

her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you by janie_tangerine: Witcher AU that has convinced me to watch (and then read and then play) the Witcher. Witcher!Brienne is the best thing I could have imagined. Last updated April 2020.

No One Mourns the Wicked by boywholivednotdied: Jaime’s off to Riverrun for a month to spend time with Lysa, and Tyrion’s along for his company. Brienne is sworn to (and friends with) Catelyn, something I love. Last updated June 2020.

Switched at Birth by AlynnaStrong: Tyrion and Galladon are switched at birth, and I am idiot for reading a WIP that hasn’t been updated since 2019, but the premise intrigued me that much. There’s fake marriage, Yara Greyjoy being a surprise, Tyrion and Brienne the best siblings ever, and political intrigue everywhere. Last updated October 2019.

turn up the stage lights by potato_writes: Broadway (Visenya’s Way) AU where Brienne and Jaime star in a Martell production of Moulin Rouge, have off-the-charts chemistry, and deal with sexism, racism, homophobia, and other dark sides of theater. It’s wonderful and helps scratch the itch of missing live theater. Last updated March 2021.

Do you have any fics you love?

What a blessed question, anon. I’m assuming you’re asking about Jaime/Brienne fics? Because I haven’t read any other fic in a year or more. 😉

For J/B, I tend to go for suuuuuper long canon-based fics, both show and books. Probably some of my all-time favorites are SigilBroken’s book-based “Honor Thy Regard” and “In This Light” (of which S8 has been giving me major flashbacks).

I haven’t updated it in a while, but last year I started a bookmark collection of some post-S7 “Jaime goes to Winterfell” fics that helped get me through the Long Night. Although they’ll probably all be jossed in a couple of weeks, there are some fantastic ones in there. I’m sure now there are a ton of new ones I should add maybe when the season’s over and I can catch up. ;___;

I also love astolat’s GoT series, especially “Fool”, “Red Fork”, and “Traveling Far”. 

My current favorite WIPs are Dreadwulf’s “Jaime goes north” kind of fic, “A Man for All Seasons” (which, holy cow! just updated!!!) and darlingofthewesterland’s AU “Stormlion”.

Hope you find something new to read and love from this short little list!

[Fic] Anchor’s Knot

This is my inexcusably, reprehensibly, unforgivably late giveaway fic for dreadwulf. She asked for Fenabela with a focus on Isabela and her backstory, and it took me almost a year to come up with something that I felt did proper justice to her and Dreadwulf both. I am so, so sorry for the delay on this; I can offer nothing but my apologies and this fic for atonement.

I also owe an enormous debt of gratitude to w0rdinista for her excellent and thorough beta, without which this fic would be a good deal less than it ought to be. Thank you for taking time out of your already-hectic life to beat this into shape! <3

Rating: T Characters/Pairings: Fenris/Isabela Word Count: 13,300 Summary: An inconvenient remnant of Isabela's past endangers her life, and she decides it's time to deal with the problem at last. Fenris helps. (They both know something of running, after all.)

--

The third time the assassins arrive through her window, Fenris happens to be there.

Frankly, and as much as she hates to admit it, he's the only reason she survives that one. He's lounging by the sill as she folds a new bit of jewelry into her hair, nothing saucy, only a little knot of gold—and then the next thing she knows he's a blur of silver light and brilliant crimson spraying across her perfectly-stained floorboards. She's got her own dagger in hand by the time the second one comes over the sill into Fenris's fist; the third she gets herself, a neat little bite right beneath the second rib that sends him sprawling with a gasp across her floor.

"Isabela," Fenris says, just too low, but she ignores him to circle the man bleeding out at her feet, dropping one knee ungently between his shoulder blades.

The Way It Should Be is a super amazing fic and, if I am correct in guessing, 1000x better than the other fic in question. (The best line is the "you are more than a vessel" one because like I hadn't noticed that before but since reading it cannot unthink)

haha wow i'm bad at responding to asks in a timely manner

but yes!! the way it should be is great, it's really tender and sweet, and just really well crafted? idk i just found it really moving, and its treatment of morrigan was spot on
